Community Feedback
What Owners Say
Owners like the solid everyday speed for the price, but many gripe about the limited four cores that show age in newer, heavier tasks.
Pros
- Sips power, runs cool and quiet
- Great for everyday office work
- Plays nice with older motherboards
- Handles light gaming without fuss
Cons
- Only four cores and threads
- No hyperthreading support at all
- Worse value than newer i3s
Verdict
Our verdict on the Core i3-9320
A quad-core Coffee Lake desktop processor that offers solid everyday performance at a low power draw, but lacks hyper-threading.
Get it if you need a cheap, basic office PC upgrade and already have an LGA1151 board. Skip it if you do any gaming or heavy multitasking, as even cheap modern chips run circles around it.
Buy it if…
- You want a cheap office PC that handles spreadsheets and web browsing fine.
- You are upgrading an older LGA1151 motherboard without replacing it.
- You need a basic home server that sips power and runs cool.
